OMSI - The Omnibus Simulator
Now it’s time to configure the controls for OMSI. Select your controller
from the list on the right and you’ll see the settings that can be
changed in the area below the two lists.
Active determines whether the selected controller will be used to
control OMSI. You don’t need to disconnect a controller if you don’t
want to use it – you can just deactivate it here.
On the Axis tab, you’ll find the following fields:
• A display indicating the current position. You can check here to
determine which physical axis the controller is controlling.
• Next, you’ll need to map these to the OMSI controls. In
addition to steering, gas, brake, and clutch (or the radio
button), there’s also the gas/brake combo, which you should
use if you’re using a joystick or similar controller and you want
to accelerate by pressing forward and brake by pulling back.
• Inv enables you to invert the control axis, which may or may
not be necessary for your controller.
• Narrow restricts the range of action. For example, an older
controller may not allow you to “press” on the gas pedal
more than 95% in normal mode. With this option, you can
reconfigure the relationship, so that 90% input on the
controller is equal to 100% input in OMSI.
• Characteristics: You can choose between various transmission
characteristics:
o Linear entails a 1:1 transmission.
o Progressive means that the ratio is weaker in the lower area
and higher in the upper area, compared to the linear setting.
o Regressive is the opposite of “Progressive”.
o Bi-Progressive and Bi-Regressive are for the “bi-directional
axes”, like steering (left/right) and gas/brake. The default
value is 50%. You can set a progressive or repressive ratio
in both directions.
